Manufacturer/Plant: Electro-Chemical Engraving Co.
Date of manufacture: circa 1930s
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions: 12 inches.
Comments/description: Colorful, graphic, and humorous. The beaming Connoisseur makes a great subject for a tray as he admires the glass of Hanleys about to be consumed. Always very popular with collectors. This 12-inch example is arguably the scarcer of the 12- and 13-inch versions of this design. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Condition is very good, with nice color retention and light wear evident. No dings or kinks either, so there is a lot of visual appeal here.
